]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> The comment that i heard in the theater i was in was "WHAT THE HELL??", when the movie ended abruptly.
Of course that was spoken be a girl who was probably 15 at the oldest, probably used to TV shows where everthing is wrapped up in a hour.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> @ JohnW someone said the exact same thing at the same moment at the showing I was at. Maybe that's the one scene that strains credibility too far?

Anyway. For the record, I liked it.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> boy, can't wait for the next two in the trilogy and who knows part XI?

SciFiDriveR

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> Not sure... I have been hearing alot of speculation about the ending and the chatter of "it's still alive" someone at the theater had a different theory of the final chatter "It's another one"... either way it works well with the movie. Just superb....

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> @thechansen: No, the one after the credits. Seems to have been figured out now!

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> I'd love to know what camera they were using, cause man the battery life on that thing was incredible.

Honestly though, I thought the movie was very well done. Granted, the CG could've been a little better and the monster's design could've been better, but on the whole I enjoyed it very much. I liked the survival aspect of the movie.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> much too blair witchy for its own good. people keep saying things that are ridiculous and unrealistic and actory and histrionic. if a lot of that was the result of improv, they should have edited that stuff amongst themselves in rehearsal. i mean, in the middle of the attack, a guy yells "it's alive"... WTF?!?! who would yell that about anything?!

love story at its core is paper thin and junior high. they could have made it sooooo much easier for themselves in terms of story by making it about a married couple in a rough patch. boom, instant credibility for the attachment.

also, the movie is about absurdly good looking people who are obnoxiously wealthy for their youth.... that's not a great way to engender any kind of connection to the audience. it started me out with mild disgust long before any monster showed up.

pretty good all in all but deeply flawed and i kept thinking, "this is a neat idea. it could've been better".

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> My last post was too strong. There's a lot to not like in this movie, but on the whole I enjoyed it. In the scene right after the helicopter crashes, when the movie is quiet, one man in the audience in the theater where I saw it yelled out, "This is one damned stupid movie!" and the whole audience laughed. I think I was the only one in the theater who liked it.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> I stayed till the very end of the credits hoping for one final surprise and all I got was that silly unrecognizable stream of static. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> The little crackling radio transmission at the end is reversible. It says "it's still alive." I'm hoping they don't make a sequel. Cloverfield is that movie would fare better without a sequel.

avcables

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> I'm not going to give away anything here, but if you can get hold of the audio of the post-credits static, i will suggest you try reversing the audio. However, DON'T do this until you have seen the film, as you will ruin the entire experience for yourself...

J.J. wanted to make America's Godzilla? can't kill it in the first movie...

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> The last transmission says....................."it's still alive"

"Cloverfield #2 on Memorial Day 2010" A little birdie (that works with J.J.) told me that earlier tonight.

Mark my words.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> Are you kidding me?

I just returned from watching this movie, and all I can say is that the roars of "I want my money back" were only slightly less amusing than someone stating that they felt as if they would have had more fun being "ass-raped" (not making that comment up either).

Aside from the "wonderful" effects of the smaller monsters, the "main" one is only shown once or twice and only ONCE "face to face" with the camera.

For the remainder of the movie, you have to watch from the perspective of someone running (and falling numerous times - the only comical aspect I found) with the camera... relatively calm flash-backs to a "dream-day" with the main character and his "true-love"... and being forced to believe that a camera can sustain this amount of damage and STILL continue to record.

I actually believe that this movie is worse than the "Blaire-Witch Project"... if that's possible. This sham of a movie got my money this time, but I won't allow either the director or the ridiculous hype get my money again. This guy is probably "getting ready to count the bags of money" because he realizes that he's stealing it from the audience.

Just wait until this one is on Usenet... it's simply not worth the $10 required for entrance into the theater. I'm certain that there are those that disagree with me, but all you need to do is duct-tape a camera to someone's dashboard and then have all your friends pay you to see it to get the same "effects." Nausea, dizziness, and quite possibly epileptic seizures could result if you go to this one.

I'm definitely not the best critic in the world, but my opinion is that this movie sucked.

after the credits roll, you hear a crackle of static , and what i though sounded like "help" . but i could be wrong.

also, the scene where the marines suddenly roll in is one of the most badass scenes of all time.

]]> <![CDATA[io9 Talks To Cloverfield Director Matt Reeves]]> Nice interview, Kevin, but the audio tag is a bit incomprehensible. Cool flick, though. Concise, too.
